Topic: More puree food???
Hey!  My name is Kerrie...And I am 4 weeks Post-op as of tomorrow. I had my surgery on 11/17 with Dr. Pohl and he wants me on puree for at least another week (And I have been on it for 2 weeks already  UGH  lol)...and I am completly getting bored with what I am eating.  I am basically living on pureed chicken, mashed potatos, stew meat w/gravy, sweet potatos, and eggs. Oh and some tuna and salmon...Does ANYONE have any ideas as to things I can do or eat to make it not so painful for another week?  Any help would be wonderful :o)

Topic: RE: Food processor?
Either one would fine. I used a regular food processor with great results. But I do hear alot of good things about the bullet..

Topic: Food processor?
Hi everyone,  I bought the Magic Bullet and the Ninja.  I am not sure which one to keep.  Has anyone used either?  My date is Thursday and I want to have everything ready. 
Thanks

Topic: RE: still no date
Hi Kathy,

When my testing was finished, I did not expect to have a date until Jan 2010.  When I called the office there were two openings in Dec. - the 10th and the 29th.  I  was calling on Dec. 2!  Sometimes there is a cancellation but it doesn't matter-you will have your surgery when it is meant to be. 
I was also at the Dec. Gerry House meeting.  I have been attending the last few months and have met wonderful people and learned a lot.  Keep going, it is great support.  Hope to see you there in January!
